Summary: Well Thought Out Text and Support Materials
Comment: Reference books do not provide the teaching that new people to the UNIX or Linux world need to quickly come up to speed. This text has saved me a lot of time by taking students through detailed exercises that work and explaining to them what is going on as they proceed. The mix of lab, explanation, review, and problems to solve matches the needs of our students. Each command is clearly identified, the type is large enough to read while at the terminal and students do not get lost or frustrated.

Instead of teaching how to accomplish the basics in class, I can help the students explore more advanced questions. They master the skills interacting with the system guided by this text. Students who were afraid of computer science are succeeding with this guide and are returning for more. Advanced students quickly master a thorough foundation.

Instructor pack is all illustrations, a way to create quizes on or off line, and support materials. Great jump start for new teachers.

Summary: Easy book to read!
Comment: This book is a great introduction for students who plan to start a course on UNIX or those that plan to start a new career using UNIX/LINUX. It gives the reader a good foundation by giving simple and concise explanations of UNIX utilities and how the operating system works behind the scenes. It is easy to read, easy to learn and is written to teach it's readers rather than show how complicated UNIX/LINUX is. I would recommend this book to everyone that i know. It is truly a good place to start from and is an absolute joy to read.

Summary: The Text I have Been Looking For
Comment: This text guides students carefully and thoroughly. My job is now to help them learn, facilitate. The book does the teaching of the needed skills so I only review them and integrate concepts in class. The level of accomplishment has gone up more than I expected. The book covers the needed content but is not too intimidating or bulky. The bonus for us was the Instructor's Pack which provides all the illustrations, power point slides, answers, teaching notes, and a quiz/ exam generating program. I spend my time teaching not re-inventing materials. I hope someone follows this approach and gives us texts on shell programming, C programming, and system administration, soon.
